2 SpaceNavigator plugged into 1 PC?

Post by akempf »

Hi,

we are going to develop an application to control
robots by the SpaceNavigator. We planned to use
two devices at the same time. But it seems that
this is not supported by the SDK.
Is there a way to access two 3D devices from
an application (some workaround) or is this
impossible at this moment?

Regards,

Alexander

Hello Alexander,

You can't do that with the current driver, but you can use WM_INPUT or HID to access > 1 device at a time. In this case, the 3DxWare driver won't be used. That is probably ok for your application. The WM_INPUT examples are easier to use for > 1 device.

There are examples on our ftp site:
ftp:/ *** ***
login: ***
password: ***
